Bath repair in Lower Benefield without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We’re often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and rust spots around the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower Benefield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What we’re called out for in Lower Benefield
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote

Lower Benefield questions
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Lower Benefield?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lower Benefield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PE8 postcode.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
